Motorcycle Training Center

Fantastic experience: I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. I was pretty anxious going into this course and by the end of the first exercise I was having a lot of fun and learning so much. Brian is an absolute legend of an instructor and has the patience of a saint. Super positive and encouraging. Not only do I recommend this course, I will be returning to do my advanced course one day. Thank you Brian and MTC for one of the coolest learning experiences I’ve ever had!

Fantastic experience: Great place. Super friendly. Would highly recommend

Fantastic experience: Excellent class. Challenging. Highly professional and knowledgeable instructor.

Fantastic experience: Instructor Del was great and knowledgeable

Fantastic experience: I’ll never allow anyone I know to attend a motorcycle course that isn’t this location or any other hosted by them. Mr. Del was mine and my buddies instructor. His professionalism, desire to see you succeed and help you reach that target of passing his course is unmatched. He’s been doing this for years and it shows in the best way possible. We started on 125cc cruisers and 125cc Kawasaki pitbikes.(essentially). I would say ask to be placed on the cruiser if you are over 5.8’. The course and the teachings were very helpful in sharpening my understanding of safe and better riding. Do yourself a favor and schedule your class here over anywhere else!

Fantastic experience: Brian was a great instructor, recommend this course & place to anyone who is nervous about first getting into riding & the motorcycle world. I am hooked !️ didnt feel rushed at all throughout the entire course, brian was very understanding & helped certain individuals if they needed more help.

Fantastic experience: Great class with my instructor Qiana! I had ridden a motorcycle one single time many moons ago. Since then it’s been a goal of mine to get my M1 license and get more knowledge. This is what that course provided. From the first day that it was freezing and very windy, Qiana was out there setting up the course and instructing us clearly on what to do on the bike. She always asked if we had any questions and if we felt comfortable enough to move on the next part. She demonstrated every exercise clearly and a few times to make sure we understood. I highly recommend taking the class here and hopefully with her! I’ll recommend anyone that asks me how I got my M1! Thanks Qiana and ride safe!

Fantastic experience: Front start to finish it is full of information. Not knowing what to expect is the best part. Del was awesome answering all questions and adding more information and keeping the class on track. Liked the group getting involved and detailed on each topic. Above all expectations I had from the start of the class. The lessons on riding was step by step and demonstrated each lesson. Del built our confidence up and kept everyone involved to meet each challenge. Recommend this class to any person getting a license for a Trike. Safety, skill and mental to be ready to ride. Had a great time. Looking forward to ride in the Hill Country.

Fantastic experience: Had a great experience here. Very good instruction on the BRC. Brian was our instructor and he was very knowledgeable and helpful throughout the course.

Negative experience: From the singling out of individual students to the blatant disregard for making people feel uncomfortable. Just those combinations alone I would strongly suggest you stray from this place. As someone who’s supported and recommended this place of business for multiple years I will no longer do so. I’ll let all my customers know. This isn’t the first time, apparently, just read the rest of the horrid reviews. No students should ever feel rushed or unsafe in a MSF course. Dear owner if you care to respond with how I wasn’t on your roster, you’re right I wasn’t. But my coworkers and many a customer have been. Utter disappointment. The response from "The Owner"... wow I hate to say that we recommend people to your location. I could provide a date, a name but why would I single out someone like that. Clearly you know you have a problem, the reviews are there.

Fantastic experience: So much fun and best class!! Bryan is amazing you can tell he enjoys what he does and love motorcycles. The class was a lot of fun and so informative. I am so happy I took my class with mtc when I am ready for an advanced course I plan to come back!

Fantastic experience: Highly recommend this course. Instructor Brian B. was organized, professional, knowledgeable, and a great teacher! Learned so much. You could tell his goal went beyond ensuring certification. He was engaged in equipping his students with as much knowledge, safety, and skills as possible. One of those instructors who truly cares about what he does and those he impacts. Side note: My son took this course with a different instructor a few weeks before I did and he was just as impressed. Y’all, go take this course!

Fantastic experience: Brian B was a great instructor, he has years of experience in riding and demonstrated on the field. He is also patient with new riders and always give tips for those who never rode a motorcycle. Highly recommend if you want to get your license!

Fantastic experience: Great course and Brian was an outstanding coach. Learned a lot and I already was experienced but going forward I will be a better rider and now I'm legally driving. Highly recommend this course. Probably better not to do this during a July heat wave like I did, but I'm thoroughly glad I completed this.

Fantastic experience: The class instructor Brian B was great he was well knowledgeable in the information and instructions he gave during my two day training. Wanted to say thank you for everything… I recommend anyone who is wanting to learn to ride a motorcycle take the msf course. Ride safe….

Fantastic experience: Instructor Bryan was awesome! He had the whole class comfortable and confident by the end of the course. He gave great coaching and knew how to work with all experience levels. Great place to learn the basics or sharpen existing skills

Fantastic experience: I highly recommend MTC for the basic rider training to get the knowledge and skills to safely operate Motorcycles. My trainer was william and he was very knowledgeable and willing to answer any question. He taught us a lots and took his time to ensure all the class are confident before we leave for the course.

Positive experience: It's fun and good learning but training motorcycles are super small doesn't help to get used to being on a big bike

Fantastic experience: They do a great job

Fantastic experience: Took this course to get my endorsement and to learn to basics of riding a motorcycle. Brian the instructor was very helpful and professional.I would highly recommend taking this course !!!

Fantastic experience: This was the absolute best motorcycle training I ever could have asked for. As a woman, I was pretty nervous about this. It was my very first time driving a motorcycle, but they walked me through it from start to finish. By day 2, I was zipping around the course with ease and passed the final evaluation with minimal issues. Brian, my instructor, was absolutely phenomenal. His passion for motorcycles is clearly evident, and he loves what he does. We did have a small snafu where there was a wrong link in the documentation I was sent, which caused me to take the wrong course. VERIFY your course. If it's a beginning course, the state requirement is 6 hours. I only had the 3 hour course as an option when I clicked the link and that's what I took. The materials on the website and courses could be a little less confusing, so if you have questions, ask. In the end, I had to take the 6 hour course which is essentially the 3 hour course extended. I didn't learn much more but I did lose an additional 3 hours. That said, I learned a lot and enjoyed my experience very much. I cannot thank Brian enough for taking such good care of me!

Fantastic experience: Had a blast. The instructor Del is fantastic!!!@

Fantastic experience: Enjoyed the class and I was pleasantly surprised at how prepared I felt to actually get out and start practicing on my own. Good value to be found here.

Fantastic experience: William is awesome, made the course super interesting and fun (and funny!) and he has tons of real world knowledge of what to do. I loved taking this class (basic rider course) with him as the instructor. Super memorable. My girlfriend Julie loved it too. He even pulled out a different bike to accommodate her needs better. Looking forward to taking the intermediate course with him again one day

Fantastic experience: My instructor Brian did a fantastic job! He was knowledgeable and very personable. He picked up right where the online class left off and did a good job making all the information go full circle and reference back to it during the in-person portion. Definitely feeling much more comfortable on a motorcycle and like I am in control after going through the class. Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: Okay, so I rode years ago. I had an accident in 2007 and decided, due to gas prices, that I needed to get back on a bike. I took the class on Oct 27th and 28t, 2022. I shared my experience of the accident with Brian the instructor and the class. Let me say, what a group of classmates. All were very supportive. Brian was also very informative. He seemed to know my fear but without to much pressure he let me ease into the riding. First day was easy and went fairly well. Second day, well let just say if it isn't raining you ain't training. Our course was wet in the morning. And, there it is, I was the first to drop a bike as my tire slid over the paint on the course. My confidence was hit hard. Luckily I know how to fall and rolled up onto my feet and shut the bike off. Brian was worried about me as the rider, but I was good to go. Laughed about it with the class but admitted the embarrassment. Being shakey the rest of the day I kept pushing. Brian kept calmly coaching me when I asked for help. I honestly felt like I was the worst rider in the course, and probably was. But, you know what. When it came to the riding test I made a perfect score. Brian looked at me and said, "Mike, you killed it!" He made comments that we were his best class because how we engaged with eachother. Maybe that was a key, but Brian's calm coaching when someone is nervous was also a huge part as well. Once I log some time on a bike I will return for the more advance course one day. Brian, you were awesome, thanks!

Negative experience: Horrible customer service, very rude and insulting. All they care about is money and they like to hang up on you. They give no sort of refunds at all. So if you’re planning on spending almost 300 on this class make sure you know you will pass. Their motorcycles are old,heavy, and broken too.

Negative experience: Absolutely horrible customer service from the get go. Put your money towards real professionals. Better hope nothing goes wrong because they will make you pay for nothing. Wouldn't recommend at all.

Fantastic experience: Zero experience going in, Brian B and the class made it a fun and learning environment. Very personable instructor who was great at coaching in the moment and helping me overcome my fear of motorcycles. 100% Recommend for anyone looking to get into motorcycles.

Fantastic experience: I was nervous about taking this course because I had zero riding experience, but the Instructor was great! He made sure we understood the safety precautions while still keeping the class fun. After the class was completed the instructor also explained what to do when taking the completion papers to DPS to get your license. Have fun & be safe!

Fantastic experience: William was a rockstar instructor. He genuinely WANTS you to learn and will try to teach to your learning style. He had a very easygoing laidback nature that helped us feel confident on our bikes. I did not think I could learn to ride (let alone drive a standard engine) in under 2 days and under 8 hours on a bike. He made something very intimidating become something fun while still reinforcing the danger of the risk we are about to embark on.

Fantastic experience: Brian is a great instructor, as well as William. I had lots of fun learning how to ride a motorcycle during the 2-day period, they teach very well and give great tips!

Fantastic experience: Took the motorcycle course back in March with William as my instructor. He was funny and patient with me as I had never driven a motorcycle before, and even allowed me extra time aside from everyone else to continue practicing my turns. It was easy to learn on the 125s provided. Paired with the classroom instruction I feel more comfortable cruising around on my own. Instruction was early when the heat wasn't so bad... I do not recommend taking this course in the summer. Spring/Fall/Winter in South Texas is the smartest choice. I appreciate the laid back instruction that focused on safety before anything else. Thanks again William, you are awesome!

Negative experience: terrible customer service. even if the classes were free i would not go there. Id rather pay extra and give my money to somebody who actually knows some basic people skills and customer service. Disgusting over the phone.

Negative experience: Ok, I guess I just put a 1 star for no reason. ( this was my reply to the owner)

Fantastic experience: This was the best decision I made when paying for this class… Mr. William was by far the best instructor I could have hoped for. He is very knowledgeable and makes the class feel at ease. I highly recommend everyone to this company for their M endorsement Thanks for a great learning experience Wendy

Fantastic experience: Just took the course last weekend. They had the same model scooter I own (Cali Classic) available for me to use. Del was our instructor and he was wonderful the whole time. Very patient and kept it casual. The course was decent with minimal surface defects. I had a great time and learned a lot despite the heat!

Fantastic experience: This was a great class I took a two day course and it was very helpful with giving out so many information about motorcycles the Director was very kind and funny if you are new to motorcycling this is definitely the place to start

Fantastic experience: I would recommend MTC to anyone who wants to have fun learning how to ride a motorcycle. I only have positive things to say about them. I took my class in San Antonio TX, and my instructor Del Fante is amazing! I did not quit because of him. Thank you MTC

Fantastic experience: A great course that gave many me good tips for riding. The instructor is a experienced rider and will give you real world scenarios. I found this class very informative and the way it was presented kept it all interesting.

Fantastic experience: The class was very welcome. I felt at home and learn a lot from the instructor Bill Go. He was very professional and knowledgeable. I’ll be sending my two daughters to his class soon and anybody that asks where to take the class. It took me an hour to drive to the location but Bill made it worth the ride.

Fantastic experience: Amazing course and best instructor I could’ve asked for. William Flottman is the GOAT! He made the course fun and easy to learn ALL the content; we all had a blast!! I would highly recommend taking the course sooner than later.

Fantastic experience: Thank you for your expertise and having a sociable manner Mr. William Flottman

Fantastic experience: This class was awesome and the Coach/Teacher was amazing. Not sure if this goes to the whole website or just to the San Antonio area one but 10/10 would recommend this class. Had a blast and am finally legal!!!

Fantastic experience: William made the training interesting and enjoyable. He was very knowledgeable and helpful.

Fantastic experience: The BRC was a great learning experience and the instructor, Tom is an awesome teacher that taught me how to ride and ride safely too. I had no prior experience with motorcycles before. Do your research, watch videos, and just have that beginner mentality always ready to learn!

Negative experience: The basic rider course isn’t really for complete beginners. You need to have some riding experience to succeed.

Negative experience: I’ve never been here, I’m just looking over the reviews as I normally do before making my decision, though I see great reviews I also see terrible reviews, but what has influenced my decision to NEVER come here is the unprofessional, sarcastic, rude response from (I’m guessing) the owner. Any place who responds in such a manner is place I’d advice people to not even bother visiting. He obviously doesn’t care to improve on customer service, n I wouldn’t be surprised if he had some smart response to my review after seeing his comments on others 1 star reviews.

Fantastic experience: Took my beginner MSF course here (MTC at Rolling Oaks Mall). The instruction was effective and efficient. Would recommend and would take other courses with them.

Fantastic experience: I found the course to be very, informative, I truly enjoyed it, the instructor William was a total professional and class act, as well as knowledgeable and humble, a understanding person, the only problem I had with the course, is that I wish it was a 4 day course instead of two

Fantastic experience: I completed my 3 Wheeled Safety Course today and I feel much more confident about riding a 3 Wheeled motorcycle. All my interactions with the office staff were prompt, courteous, professional, and helpful. At one point there's was a misunderstanding about the available trikes, but the staff very patiently work though the issue. The instructor never once made me feel bad in anyway and did an excellent job helping us through the riding portion and making the classroom portion engaging.

Negative experience: *Everything single one star review on this place* Owner: yeah sorry your name isn't on our database so that means we've never served you so bs review. What are you, 12? Newsflash owner, have some humility and treat your customers better. Based on some of these 1 star reviews you're in for a reckoning in the form a competitor that will eventually do everything right where you couldn't if you don't change. And please stop using the fake 5 star reviews lol. Just like you call bs on every 1 star review, I call bs on every 5 star review. Have a good day.

Fantastic experience: Will is an awesome instructor and made things extremely easy to understand for this first time rider!

Fantastic experience: Definitely worth the money! Thanks Mr William!

Fantastic experience: The instructor was very friendly and eccentric. If you have absolutely no experience on a motorcycle don’t be afraid to start here. If you can balance a bike you can learn how to ride a motorcycle quickly here.

Negative experience: All these horror stories are true. Stay far away from this place.

Fantastic experience: Professional individuals with slight humor to ensure quality training provided to the students.

Fantastic experience: Took this course with zero experience in riding, didn’t even know how to start a motorcycle. After two days of training I learned how to ride a motorcycle for the first time ever. Awesome instructor, and great class time. Worth every cent. Thank you so much ✝️

Fantastic experience: I just took the MSF course at Rolling Oaks mall and it was a great experience. I am a new rider, and the class taught me how to ride and how to be safe. The instructors, William and Dale, were nice, helpful, and very knowledgeable. Highly recommended.

Fantastic experience: I took the class back in July. William was the teacher. He did a great job. Yes, you get your mistakes pointed out... but that's what you're there to do...learn from your mistakes. He was also quick to point when you did something right and when you corrected your mistakes. It was a very good class, and I got a lot out of it. I think we need to get William a joke book for Christmas!

Fantastic experience: One day training on the 2020 Can-am Ryker 900 at the Motorcycle Training Center @ Rolling Oaks Mall, San Antonio, TX. I had a blast! The hands-on & classroom training is very informative.

Fantastic experience: Would take the course again (if needed)! Highly recommend, William, the instructor, who is extremely knowledgeable. I'm not sure about the other review, but I took the course about 8 months ago with my friend Steve (see his review) and I loved it!. In fact, we went back today to say hi and he was able to recommend some great place for parts and mechanic work.

Fantastic experience: Good staff good training

Fantastic experience: Very good training, patient with beginners.

Fantastic experience: I wish I could give more stars William is a great instructor. He tries to make sure your having fun and staying safe at the same time. He is so patient with everyone I would recommend this class to everyone.

Fantastic experience: I have been riding for over 40 years and managed to learn knew things by taking this course. The instructor William was easy to work with and very informative. I would recommend highly.

Fantastic experience: I took this class last weekend and felt like I really learned a lot about motorcycle safety and technique. Both instructors were awesome and made it fun to learn. Not sure why there are complaints about finding the class, If you read the clearly specific directions provided prior to showing up for the class, you will have no problem finding the location. I would definitely recommend this course for any first time motorcyclists.

Fantastic experience: Just finished my motorcycle training class this past weekend at Rolling Oaks Mall, 2 day course. William Flottman is a great instructor. Very knowledgeable and willing to help students. Instructor William took his time to explain and re- explain every aspect of the course. Including key points in the book with emphasis on rider safety and awareness. I feel more knowledgeable about motorcycles and my skills have improved greatly. Need more instructors like Williams. Only issue is he needs a bigger TV. Get the man a bigger TV. Also be professional and courteous. If class starts at 8AM. Be there 7:50AM. Will not wait up for you.

Fantastic experience: I Finished the weekend course on Dec 8th. Upon registering I received an email with ALL the info you will need. I mean everything from directions to explaining all you will need to do. Especially about not being late. We had a great group in our class. William did a great job with all the first timers. I never been on a bike and did fine. I recommend this course with William.

Fantastic experience: Arrive early and be on time! They don’t wait! Plus it’s just respectful of other people’s time. I took the class a couple weeks ago. I literally knew nothing about riding. The instructor was great. Taught all the basic to us. I had no complaints about anything we learned. Only Thing that was a issue was bathroom breaks outside. Going in to the mall is a pain. But they are working on it. The instructors knew there stuff and made the class fun. Also, dress appropriately because your going to be outside and inside 50/50.

Fantastic experience: I work for a powersports dealership and this is where I will send all of my customers. Preston was an awesome instructor and really helped me feel more comfortable in my turning and stopping. I'd highly recommend this school for two or three wheeled courses.

Fantastic experience: Did my basic rider training on a weekday Instructor jim Schulz is a great teach learned a lot of good safe practices on the road teacher also has a good sense of humor. Really enjoyed the classes I would recommend to others

Negative experience: I had paid to take the course 2 years ago (07/27/17). Was unsure of the location since I didn't see any cars parked there initially and not a single motorcycle. Actually passed someone else in the class in the parking lot. Got to the door less than 5 minutes after 8. He had already locked himself in the room and didn't open it until they went outside around 830. His response? "I guess you'll be on time next time." And he chuckled. I called their office on Monday (class was on a Saturday) and was offered a pitiful credit if I paid nearly full price again. I think I got the last laugh when I disputed the charge and got a refund. I went to Southwest motorcycle training instead and learned a lot. Saw a post on a Facebook group asking for recommendations and thought I'd give a recommendation to everyone. Go somewhere else.

Negative experience: Where should I start.... so last year I completed my online test and the next day I woke pu early to make sure I beat the traffic on 1604. Well, there was soo much traffic. I got there 3min late!!!! I knocked on the door and the instructor said I was late and he could not take me in. He was not polite at all...but it gets better. After he told me I was not allowed, I was so mad. The parking lot only had 2 cars!!!! I even took a photo of it!!! I began to walk back to the room and ask 1 final question.....well guess how was outside the class room....yup the instructor!! As soon as he saw a bit of me going his direction and went back to the class room. Either it was empty and/or just 1 person there. Really I called them up later that day and told them reason why I was late and also that the instructor was outside etc. The guy I talked to over the phone told me he could not do a refund and put me back in. Instead, he said they would credit me I believe it was $35 or $45. He said when I am ready, to give them a call. 3 4 days later I called about 7 times and no answer. Five ours later, I called again and finally some lady answered . I told her my story and told her I spoke to someone and that day would credit me part of my money ($35/$45). She told me there were no notes about giving me money credit. I was speechless. So lets do some math... Instructor with bad attitude + only 1 person in the class + catching the instructor out side by the rails + small credit of $35/$45 + there was no notes about giving me credit = Not recommending this Motorcycle company.

Negative experience: the first day i went to class was great even waited for students 15min after class started on the 2nd day i was 5 min late and told me i had to call the office and ask them what to do, they told me that i retake to hold class and pay other 175$$$ when i already payed 235$$$ the class is way to far out with traffic not worth the drive.

Fantastic experience: If you thought about taking your Basic Riders Course, this is the place to do so! Don’t let the negative reviews steer you away. Our instructor William is full of knowledge. I watched him take students that have never been on a bike in there entire lives and have them riding with confidence. As for me, I’ve been riding for years without any type of motorcycle Endorsement. Never realized I had bad habits. My instructor, William pointed out my bad habits and helped me correct them. Thank you William for everything you taught us from basic motorcycle skills to the safety oriented material to make us all better riders.

Fantastic experience: I had zero riding experience before taking this class and was pretty nervous. Nevertheless, I passed thanks to William’s patient instructions. BRING SUNSCREEN!

Fantastic experience: I took my class with Mr. William. It was like being taught how to ride by a family member. Excellent for real beginners. Excellent for those like me who after 8 years of riding decided to refresh riding concepts that are really important if you want to ride safely and enjoy your bike for many years to come. The instructor is really dedicated to teach beginners. No pressure at all. He actually helps you relieve your stress at being a newbie by explaining how to do every exercise until you understand it and do it right. He teaches the real basics, followed by showing you how easy it could be with a little practice, to do slow speed maneuvers and all the other tests involved in MSF's manual. And there was more than enough was time for practice. The overall attitude was extremely friendly, non-judgmental, extremely-respectful. He is very well educated and mannered. I feel I got what I paid for and more. The motorcycles were top shape; with and oiled chain, new tires in the all bikes, brakes top shape, shifters easy to operate, clutch in perfect working conditions, etc. I happily recommend this MSF course on top of some others in San Antonio (2 of which I had a real bad experience with, just look for reviews before commiting your hard earned $$$). To all riders, I salute you. Rudy.

Negative experience: I don’t know how MTC can even classify themselves as a motorcycle training center or how they ever became certified to teach the basic motorcycle safety course. They advertise this course for beginners but if you haven’t been riding for years and have all maneuvers mastered, you will fail! You will also be made to feel like you are stupid for even wanting to try to learn. The instructor, Dell, is very judge mental and according to his manager, is not following the state guidelines. Dell forced our class to stay 5 1/2 hours (2 hours over) on the course doing obstacles and getting more and more frustrated with us because we were making mistakes and we were getting frustrated because we were all exhausted. His manager told us today that Dell should have only required us to go through 4 obstacles that day. However, Dell is still teaching at MTC and nothing is changing. Take my advice, don’t take your BRC with this company!!! You will waste your money and time!

Fantastic experience: I just took the Basic Rider Course (BRC) required by the state to get my endorsement. William and Del were my instructors. They were great! They really care for their student's developmental needs to be safe on the road. I was hesitant to take this course because of the negative Google reviews but it was the exact opposite come to find out. I made some errors but was given feedback to improve and keep me safe on the road. You should not take ANY motorcycle training course if you can't take criticism to keep you alive. The roadways do not offer second chances when you make mistakes, but this course does. Thank you MTC. I will recommend this class to others.

Negative experience: Just go to caliente harley davidson, they are not out for yall to fail. I myself came here back in april and the lady no pun intended. Very patronizing to students, i failed the test here which is my fault but she wanted to add insult to injury by having me rate her performance.

Fantastic experience: Was in the same class as another reviewer today and have to agree wholeheartedly with what he said. Felt compelled to write this because some other reviews had me concerned about the course before I signed up but they are absolutely wrong and I would not hesitate to send anyone to take this course with William. William is not only a great instructor but he is humorous and really works to help you learn. I saw a review with a comment about being "called out" but he never does anything to embarrass/demean anyone it is 100% to make you (and everyone else in the class) a better rider...something I appreciate. I happened to be one of the least experienced in the class so my mistakes were pointed out more than once but his suggestions always helped make me better and that's what I paid for. You don't pay the course fee to be coddled you are spending that money to learn how to properly ride a motorcycle as well as many things that could very well save your life one day (and to get your motorcycle endorsement too of course). If he never points out mistakes then the students can't become better at riding. I still have a lot to learn but the foundation I got in this class is a solid one and after some riding time on a personal motorcycle I will most likely be back to take the intermediate course with William.

Fantastic experience: Just took my course and passed!!! My instructor was William he taught me everything about how to ride a motorcycle with no knowledge of riding one! Honestly the best motorcycle instructor ever and gives the best information with humor but his focuses are primarily safety and motorcycle knowledge & fundamentals also offers advice for any question! I highly recommend taking this course.

Fantastic experience: Took this class this week, excellent experience. Yes you need to show up on time its in the check boxes you agree to when you enroll in the class, try showing up to work late and see how that goes with your boss. Just like in life and riding a motorcycle you need to take responsibility for your actions. We had plenty of breaks after each riding exercise, make sure to take plenty of water/electrolytes and an ice chest to keep them cool..you will be out in the Texas sun the instructor has no control over the weather. William was an excellent rider coach/ facilitator. His main focus is your safety out there on the roads. He did a great job balancing the subject and keeping it light with some humor. I would recommend this course to anyone wanting a motorcycle endorsement. You get out of it what you put into it.

Fantastic experience: I attended the class few weeks back. Del was our instructor and he did all it takes to help students improve their skills. His judgement was fair and he would spend extra time with students strugling on some of the excercises to make sure they get the technique. He asked a student to leave the course since the person was 30+ minutes late for the class on the second day. Del held the class for the first 15 minutes to give some time that student to show up but hey, it’s not fair for the rest 7 people to sit and wait. There are a number of excercises that have to be done and 30 + minutes delay makes it close to impossible. I had nex to 0 experience riding a motorcycle and I passed because of the help of the instructor. For the statistics out of 8, 1 never showed up, 1 was asked to leave because they were late, 1 failed on the riding test. The rest 5 got their licenses. This course is for you if you are motivated, willing to learn and take it serious. The insructors are respectful and very knowlegable.

Negative experience: Our motorcyle class was held in 105° heat yesterday with only one instructor and 8 riders. Class got one break in a 3 1/2 hour time frame while our instructor continued to walk over to where his car was having windshield replaced while we sat in the direct sun on bike waiting on him to handle personal business during class time. I fell over on my bike starting a turn. Our instructor was more concerned about bike than in my safety. Instead of trying to help me rebuild my confidence after my fall his response was "I was taking time away from the class". After that every little thing I did wrong I was call out on in front of the class. I was not the only student in this class that needed help. Which left 6 other students to have to just set in the sun one their bikes while only one instructor helped out student. Word of advice check to see how many instructors are out on the training course and how many breaks you get while taking your class in 105° weather. Both my husband and I had to quit the class due to over heating after being in the direct sun for over 3 1/3 hours. Very expansive way to look out for your own safety. PLEASE BE WARNED and Don't over heat .

Fantastic experience: When I originally started riding motorcycles back in 1999...I took the advanced course with my sport bike. It was mandatory for military. That...and I decided to take a few years off about 5 years ago and got back on in April. I took Will’s beginner 2-day course because 1. I hadn’t purchased a new motorcycle yet and 2. I wasn’t sure if I was going to, and was going to use this experience to help me make my decision. It was a little rough getting back on. While in general I remembered how to ride, I could NOT do any of the tighter maneuvers at the onset of the course. However over the two days...I not only accelerated my mechanical memory on riding, I improved on it...having actually gotten far more comfortable and confident with slow speed maneuvers. This translated to my new motorcycle...and I’m a better rider for it. Well worth the $200. And yes...William tells jokes. Depending on the audience some jokes are more or less professional. If that’s your criteria for picking a class...then your priorities are misaligned. He makes it clear that he is a facilitator and the it’s up to the rider to learn. He cannot force anyone to develop skill...but can only guide with advice and coaching. And that’s true. All learning whether academic or physical is self learnt.

Fantastic experience: This course really was amazing. I've had some experience with riding over the past two years, but decided on the basic course. It was really great and the instruction was great especially since you're educated about the assessment, then the instructor physically performs an example of the task. I highly recommend this class! The instructor made this glass educational and fun. The biggest complaints I see are from people being late-- and honestly that isn't the instructor or company's fault and I don't feel they should be judged solely on that aspect. Don't hesitate to choose them-- you won't regret it!

Fantastic experience: William my ridercoach did an awesome job getting everyone thru this training class...I highly recommend taking this class

Positive experience: I was late the first day and they wanted me to pay 175 more dollars. We ended up agreeing on 75 but still didn’t see that as fair considering I was there. Just a little late. The instructor William made up for the lost money though. He was a great/caring instructor and taught me a lot of good things. If it weren’t for him I wouldn’t have had the best experience.

Fantastic experience: GREAT CLASS!

Fantastic experience: William awesome instructor. My husband took the 2 day class. The information and instruction is completely covered. Best money spent. I trust he knows what he's doing when out on the rodes. Thank you William!

Negative experience: If you don't have at least 8 - 9 months on a bike, don't waste your money. They will kick you out of class on the 2nd day cause you're "holding up the class" and you will not get a refund. I put 2 stars cause the office is good on taking your money and telling you what you want to hear. The main office is somewhere by Dallas they give 2 turds.

Fantastic experience: Took the basic rider course over a Saturday/Sunday. I had never seen a motorcycle up close, nor had I ever driven a manual vehicle before. The instructor, William, was awesome. I went into the course with the goals of learning how to ride the safe way, while still wanting a little fun for the weekend as well. He did an absolutely great job of explaining things to someone like me, who was a bit timid and didn't have frankly any knowledge on the topic and even threw in some comedy as well. On the range, he really pushed a few topics (if you take/took the course, you know what I'm talking about) over and over so that it became engrained as a skill. He was also realistic and honest about the course. Skill comes with time and he said that the real test was out on the road, so he could only cover the bare basics in the time provided. I essentially went into the course expecting some safe knowledge and some fun and came out with a lot of fun and knowing what else to look into and practice before going on more risky roads than others.
